学位英语考试阅读理解破题技巧详解:阅读方法3
3.迅读
无论是在我们平时的阅读,还是考生在考试时的阅读,常常需要了解段落的主题或文章的中心思想,还需要掌握一定的细节。这时,我们就得运用另一种阅读技巧,它就是我们这里将讲的迅读。迅读是一种比一般速度高一倍以上的阅读方法,目的是迅速从文中找到所需信息,解决问题。
迅读要领一:首先确定你需要什么事实和细节,并对其形式进行估计。
迅读要领二:在略读中由于对各段落和句子已进行过分析,已大致了解主题和细节,并进行过勾勒,这时就可以考虑确定在什么地方去找自己需要的有关细节或说明。
迅读要领三:尽快用眼睛扫过文章,找到自己需要的细节描述部分,并在有关句子下做出各种记忆符号。文章浏览完毕,再将划线部分(或做其他符号)重新详读一次,并进行适当推理。
通常,迅读法适用于事实、细节型阅读理解试题。
例:
Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture: they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture; in the words of a poet and philosopher, "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives". A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.
Question: According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is ____.
A. to read the works of poets and philosophers
B. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyes
C. to begin by learning its body language
D. to visit a country where English is spoken
说明:本题属于细节型试题,答案为C项。原文中的第四名"In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language.",其中“non-verbal”意为“非语言的”。此句大意为:学外语更好由非文字性语言因素开始经,即从学习讲这种语言的人的手势、肢体语言入手。因此"to begin by learning its body language"正好与题意吻合,故应推断C项为正确答案。考生只需运用迅读法,快速找到这句话所在位置,然后根据句意做出正确的判断。
